Rock band Korn have said farewell to guitarist Brian "Head" Welch.
Welsh left the band last week to dedicate himself to God.
The band posted a statement on their Web site saying: "Korn has parted ways with guitarist Brian Head Welch, who has chosen the Lord Jesus Christ as his savior, and will be dedicating his musical pursuits to that end. Korn respects Brian's wishes and hopes he finds the happiness he is searching for. Jonathan, Fieldy, James and David are personally closer than ever, and are currently in the studio working on their eighth record, the follow up to their highly successful Greatest Hits album. The record is due to be released this coming September."
The guitarist also told MTV that he had been looking to leave for the last year and half but had been afraid of the hurt it would cause.
You can read the statement on their Web site.
